Our mission to enhance the quality of life of Samoan/Pasefika people in the San Francisco Bay Area. We aim to:
Build strong relationships between our people & local community organizations
Promote awareness amongst our people of the human & social services available
Maintain Fa'a Samoa as a teaching tool & means of uniting the Samoan people through Arts, cultural, educational and community building events.
All in hopes of preparing our community for future success.
Our vision is two fold. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Samoan Solutions will have:
United the Samoan people across social & geographical boundaries by teaching and maintaining Fa'a Samoa, and
Ensured that the Samoan people are aware of social & human services that they require to be healthy and contributing members in their respective communities by bridging together the Samoan people with appropriate community entities that confer such services.
Samoan Solutions is currently a volunteer-run organization based in San Mateo County, CA with members from local cities including: South San Francisco, San Bruno, Daly City, San Jose and beyond. We are committed to taking an active role in contributing to the betterment of our people. This group started off as an idea to sponsor a single event and has developed into an effort to establish a lasting impact on our Samoan/Pasefika community.
2024 was a groundbreaking year for Samoan Solutions as we continued to strengthen partnerships, launched our Ta'iala Youth Exchange Program - the first exchange program of its kind & the Aganu'u Community Teach-In Series. Check out all the wonderful ways we enjoyed serving in 2024.
